ARLINGTON, Texas -- Yu Darvish just never got into a rhythm and the AL-best Texas Rangers never got into the lead to end what otherwise was a very successful homestand. Nike Kaishi Run Rouge .Darvish allowed the first three Houston batters in the game to reach base, including George Springers leadoff homer, and the Astros held on for a 7-6 victory Sunday to avoid a series sweep and end the Rangers seven-game winning streak.I feel these guys are in a good place right now, very confident, manager Jeff Banister said. Theyre going to continue to play hard.The Rangers went 8-2 during the homestand that included four games against AL Central-leading Cleveland before taking on Seattle and Houston, their closest competitors in the AL West. They still have a 9 1/2-game division lead over the Astros with 25 games left in the regular season.Were feeling good for sure. Were in the drivers seat right now, said shortstop Elvis Andrus, who had the day off. We cant take anything for granted. Theres a lot of baseball ahead and we have to keep grinding.Rougned Odor had three hits and drove in three runs, including his 29th homer and an RBI single. The feisty second baseman has homered in four of the last five games, finishing with six homers and 17 homers on the homestand.Houston had a 5-0 lead when Darvish (5-4) came off the mound to end the fourth in his shortest out this season. The right-hander from Japan struck out four, walked three and had two wild pitches.His command was not where it had been previously. ... Worked from behind the hitters and really couldnt get it in the soft contact zones, Banister said. So (he) looked a little out of rhythm in my opinion. Just very uncharacteristic.Chris Devenski (3-4) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings after taking over for starter Collin McHugh with one out in bottom of the fifth when Texas still had a runner on base and had already scored three runs in the inning to get within 6-5.Ken Giles pitched the ninth for his eighth save in 11 chances, the final out coming when the right-hander struck out Odor.After the fast start, going ahead 2-0 in the first against Darvish, the Astros had their first four batters reach base in the fourth and scored three more times.Got him out of the game and got into their bullpen and fortunate enough to come out of here with a win, said Alex Bregman, the Astros rookie that had three hits. Thats what you have to do against good teams like this, get ahead of them early and continue to apply pressure.BRUISED AND BLEEDINGRangers LF Carlos Gomez had blood streaming down his face after getting cut by his own helmet when sliding headfirst into second base on a stolen base in the sixth inning. The helmet popped off, bounced off the ground and into his face. A trainer came out and looked at Gomez, who then disappeared briefly into the dugout before returning with two bandages -- one on the bridge of his nose, and another over the top corner of his left eye. A few pitches later, he was picked off second base.SHORT HOPSEvan Gattis also homered for the Astros. He struck out in each of his other four at-bats. ... Ian Desmond and Carlos Beltran had consecutive RBI doubles in the Rangers fifth before Odors run-scoring single chased McHugh. ... Odor had his 20th error of the season, when the ball hit off the side of his glove in the sixth after SS Jurickson Profar made a diving play to his left, and flipped the ball to him while still flat on the ground.TRAINERS ROOMRangers: C Jonathan Lucroy was back in the lineup and not feeling any lingering issues from flu-like symptoms that kept him to miss Saturdays game. ... RHP Keone Kela said he was OK after a liner deflected off the palm of his right hand in Saturdays game.UP NEXTAstros: Continue their stretch of 13 consecutive games against division leaders. They open a four-game series Monday at AL Central leader Cleveland.Rangers: Open a 10-game road trip when they will face three AL West rivals before playing 12 of their last 15 games at home. The trip starts Monday in Seattle, and ends the following week with three games in Houston. Asics Aaron Bleu . JOHNS, N. Nike Kaishi 2.0 Femme Blanche . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.chaussurederunningasics.fr/air-max-95-2018.html . Its the second straight game Bell has scored in extra time for Kelowna, which beat the Brandon Wheat Kings 6-5 on Friday, and he now has four game-winning goals on the season.Scotland head coach Vern Cotter has named uncapped back-row Magnus Bradbury among four personnel changes to his starting XV to face Argentina at Murrayfield on Saturday. The 21-year-olds inclusion on the blindside flank sees John Barclay move to No 8 with Hamish Watson returning to the openside and Ryan Wilson selected on the bench.Edinburgh Rugby lock Grant Gilchrist, who captained Scotland to victory over the Pumas in Cordoba two years ago, and Glasgow Warriors hooker Fraser Brown are promoted from the bench in place of the injured Richie Gray (suspected concussion) and Ross Ford, who is named among the replacements. They will pack down with returning tight-five forwards Zander Fagerson, last weeks debutant Allan Dell, and try-scoring lock Jonny Gray. Scotland were narrowly beaten by Australia last weekend The return of wing Tommy Seymour is the only change to the back division, meaning two-time try-scorer Huw Jones and centre partner Alex Dunbar return, while half-backs Greig Laidlaw and Finn Russell, and Stuart Hogg and Sean Maitland are also reinstated.Two further personnel changes appear on the bench with prop Alex Allan and lock Tim Swinson coming in for Gordon Reid and the promoted Gilchrist. Richie Gray (white) forced to sit out visit of Argentina at Murrayfield Reflecting on his reshuffle in the wake of last weeks heartbreaking 23-22 defeat to Australia, Cotter said: Every week we want to improve.We did a lot of good things against Australia, we scored three tries to their two, we were aggressive in attack and our defence held strong for the most part. Air Max 95 Femme Rose Pale. While its disappointing we didnt walk off with the win, Im proud of the courage the players showed and the way they adapted to changes on the paddock due to injuries. Tommy Seymour back in Scotland team to face Argentina Saturdays game is going to be a different challenge for us, both physically and mentally, against a very dangerous Argentina side.They have the capacity to vary their game so we have to be prepared for whatever approach they take, though we can expect them to look to dominate the set piece as a starting point, be very explosive around the rucks and look to get their offloading game up and running.We will have to be disciplined and make sure we capitalise on every opportunity we create.
